Summary

"Let me get this straight, Steve. You want to take in Superboy?""Yes.""Great. I can see the headlines now: Captain America and Ironman Adopt Superman's Son. The media is going to have a field day with this, you know. Batman will go all Dark Knight on us, Superman'll throw a hissy fit even though he doesn't care, and we'll forever be in the Justice League's Top Five of their shitlist.""You ready, then?""Hell yes."

After meeting Superboy and learning about his living situation, Steve wants to adopt him, Superboy wants approval and to be left alone, and Tony just wants to make Steve happy. Then there's fallout, so much fallout.

Summary

Tony wanted back the times when running out of scotch was the worst thing he could imagine.

He wanted, Tony thought as he took off to launch attack from above, back the times when a glowing golf ball wasn't sitting in the middle of his chest, when intergalactic wars were only a thing in Hollywood movies, and when drinking himself into oblivion and an (even greater) public indecency didn't affect a bunch of people other than himself.

They fought a battle, Steve got himself into a bit of a mess and it affected Tony's life a bit more than expected.
